I'm Not.

Im not sick of the engine! Im sick of ppl comin up to me an goin "yo dawg you gonna drop that sick SR in that drift machine??" Its annoying when you hear it from everyone.

[cnichols]

Yes it is.

Happened to me again yesterday. Having an intelligent conversation with a guy who had a Z28 and was also into the import scene and had seen my car when it was on display at a local shop.

Some moron comes up from behind, says "You got an SR in that?"

I tell him no...the KA. He gives me a funny look and walks away. I wanted to strangle him.

THAT is what we're sick of.

[Nathan]

THAT, it what I'm banking on

[Nismo270RRRRR]

i have a 95 se and a 91 sentra se-r so i somewhat have exp. in a sr20de and a ka24de. i love to drive both. but the sr20 in a silvia has more power than the sentra 160hp-140hp?

[Nismo270RRRRR]

mabye they should put a ka powered 240 in more games

[TurboKA37]

^ I would love that. ive thought about having a KA 240 in a game for a while

[midnight brother]

It's pretty funny about the SR engine praisers. I can guarrantee a gigantic ammount of them would praise the KA if we got ca/sr and KA was JDM.

[TurboKA37]

you know it

It will only take a couple things.

My theory is this. If you are "cool" anything you did to get "cool" will become "cool".

If Yashio didn't have fast pink cars no one would be running out and painting their valve covers pink. There was a dude that made got the term "Donkey Punch" into a car magazine. I thought that was hilarious.

KA-T proves itself on the drag strip. It would be considered cool.

Drifter pops out of his car and opens the hood to a KA-T. That would be considered cool.

Other than that 90% of any press on the KA is to take it out and get a SR.

It is good and bad. People ignore my stock KA but then again it is going to be a ***** to talk to companies, convincing them to make parts for the KA.

[nismodave]

Dont hate on the sr, just because its better than the KA.

:moon

I don't think anyone is hating on it. And how is it better? Block for block?

[Structure240sx]

o god dont start up another ka vs. sr please

[StanBo]

No problem. I am still learning and would like to see facts rather than

"Just think it sucks cause I said so"

[Structure240sx]

there was like a 5 page thread about this a couple months ago plus many other lil ones

No problem. I am actually pretty damn good with the search function now. There are ways to get just what you need out of that sucker.

[Silent Drifter]

Yea the KA gets no respect, until you beat them with a KA. For instance I had a 90 SOHC auto slow as hell an lost to everyone, now i got my 93 DOHC stick, havent lost yet(im not gonna race z28s) But the races I run are against respectable cars that are in my performance range. I wish I had just a 40-50 shot so I can run against those stock SR's(which most of them are) an finally shut those JDM crazed freaks up.

[Structure240sx]

yea i was readin thsi girls import tuner today at work and on the cover it said how to build and drift car u can do it too. came across the article and it was an s14. that said sumthin like 50% of poeple said to go sr and the other ka. what did they decide was the better way sr. its goint o make everyone think its like putting on an intake. they didnt take about anthing invloved in the swap.

[SFourteen]

This thread is pointless. It's a matter of choice. No need to get frustrated just because one choice seems more popular than the other. The sr was designed with turbocharged applications in mind and the ka wasn't. Both engines have huge potential if done right. The sr does have direct injection and vvt (in s14 versions) and the ka has more torque due to larger displacement. I like the idea of having a factory designed turbo so that's why I choose the s14sr. I do have a lot of respect for kat engines though. I imagine that the torque must be monstrous but I can't confirm it b/c I've never ridden in one.

[Silent Drifter]

This thread is not about comparing motors!! This thread was started because Im sick of everyone an there mom comin up to me when they see my 240 an askin if Im gonna put the SR in. Thats all I hear is SR this SR that. So just cause I have a 240 does NOT mean I want the SR!!!!

Understood. Here's an idea: Try telling them NO

[Structure240sx]

just think of what all those girls tell you when u ask for their number

[Kotir]

I own an Impreza 2.5RS and I agree that the SR thing is outta control.

I raced a 240sx that was in the area, and everyone assumed that my car was a WRX and that the 240sx MUST have had a SR...

Funny how ignorant most people are.

I'm going a similar route with my car and turbocharging the stock EJ25, instead of swapping it for a EJ20... go figure. I'll probably be as fast as a stock WRX at 4psi... It's all about the higher displacement engines

[Bryson]

Ya I hear ya.. I don't have a Turbo'ed KA OR an SR and I have people ask me that crap all the time. Usually they don't believe me when I tell them I am putting an RB25 in... one fu(ken retard with an N/A 300ZX he "races" all the time actually told me I wasted my money and should have gotten the Rb26 or nothing at all... I'm thinkin.. ok this jack off has the poor man's 300Zx that my 240sx can almost TAKE! (due to power/weight ratio) AND just the other day his friend told me he was going to buy an imported N/A 300ZX engine.. talk about waste of MONEY!

Sometimes I feel bad that I went RB25 instead of keeping the KA because it really does kick *** and needs to be represented much more.. of course I haven't yet gotten my RB either... but that'll change right?? This month it'll come right?? right??

[erich]

If I had it to do over again I'd probably go RB25. Not because I don't think the KA is a great engine, but an I6 sounds so much better.

[Structure240sx]

yea an rb25 does sound like a good way too go. engine itself isnt too expensive and has so much more potential

[Nismo270RRRRR]

what about a sr20 with the jun stroker kit. a sr22det sounds great as well as a rb anything. I have also heard of a 2jz swap into a s14. havent seen 1 though.

[Structure240sx]

yea that $5000 jun stroker kit would be nice wouldnt it everybody

[Bryson]

5 grand is a LOT of money, I'd say for the 2,500 grand to get an SR, plus the 5.. u could probably rebuild the KA using better head components and stronger rods.. then it'd have higher revs and still more displacement than the SR. But I am WAAAYYY of topic this is suppose to be about the bastards who are out of th eknow and always demand we go SR!

[themadscientist]

I should drop a KA into my Silvia just to piss off the kids here. The SR is a pretty good motor but that doesn't make the KA junk, you will just have to rise above the ignorance.
